Black Moth Super Rainbow – “Gangs in the Garden”from Cobra Juicyout October 23 on Rad Cult
Another “juicy” track with an insane groove. Stoked for this release.

City Reign – “Ahead of Ideas”from Another Stepout November 5 on Car Boot Records
Just a spectacular single from this Manchester (UK) based quartet. Starts off like some cousin of a Smiths’ song and then just explodes like something off of Radiohead’s “The Bends” or Doves’ “Last Broadcast.” This song has a high replay factor, simply because there is so much to it.

Hailer – “Spooky Clams”from Another Wayout February 2013 on Laughing Outlaw
The Australian band offers the first single from their upcoming second album. Apparently, production was delayed due to a “shagging” incident. Love to know what position Pete Beringer was attempting when he dislocated his shoulder (no kidding here). Anyway, Nick Stumpf (Caveman, French Kicks, Coke Weed) from NYC pulled it together in the mix, and we have this nugget to share.

The Rest – “Hey! For Horses” (maybe NSFW?)from SEESAWout now
Speaking of shagging… so this video depicts paper puppets doing it in a barn, maybe NSFW, definitely not for kids. It’s pretty frenetic and the end leaves you wondering how they managed to stay together. You can get the single free on Bandcamp. Purchase the whole album here.

Oh Minnows – “Hurry” (single)out November 5 on Young & Lost
A solid synth pop single that continues the run this band began when they released For Shadows last year.
